WOW!! Congratulations!!! I'm very excited for you! (even though you're
coming to Madison and stealing mezzo work from us Madisonians......
*g*--that's okay---I'll deal *g*)
I don't know too much about The Festival Choir, but I do know someone who
sings in it. (the director at my church job) I'll ask her how the group
is.......
Live at the LVM is a neat thing. (although the art museum is nothing I'd
call "big") Not too many people come to listen to it live, but with a whole
choir there, maybe there will be more people. I'll certainly be there to
watch!
